“A very great vision is needed, and the man who has it must follow it as the eagle seeks the deepest blue of the sky.” ~ Lakota Warrior Crazy Horse, Sioux Chief

“In an eagle there is all the wisdom of the world.” ~ Lame Deer

What angels might you soar and serve with if you open your heart to life?

I was now five months into a rite of passage. I stepped away from almost all my life, including my beloved and successful ceremonial work. I wondered, increasingly, when it would be time to lead ceremonies again. The message had to be clear. True to any authentic rite of passage, it wasn’t my place alone to determine its ending, and what doors are to appear. 

One day, I found myself looking at a low-altitude Bald Eagle circling above. It’s always special to see these majestic birds fly so low, and rare to have one spin a spiral directly overhead. As I watched it, I couldn’t help but feel there was something different about this encounter. 

Could this be a sign that it’s time to lift off from my passage through darkness? I’d had many messages from animals over the years, in form and spirit, some quite miraculous, and so my musing didn’t feel far-fetched.  

The next day I went to my favourite store to buy a candle for my altar. About 20 feet in front of me on the sidewalk was a slow-moving woman I was edging closer to. For some reason, I felt like she was blocking the entire sidewalk; that there was no way around her, even though I could have simply skipped onto the empty street and breezed by. Nearing the intersection, a subtle voice inside said turn left, when 99 out of a 100 times I walk straight on. And so I turned, relieved to be out of her great wake.

Half a block ahead an unusual looking vehicle captured my attention. Appearing like something out of the far-distant past, this car was a rugged, orange-brown hatchback with off-road tires and a sporty look. An old relic, it was impressively balanced with modern design. 

Upon closer inspection I noticed on the back that its model was EAGLE, made by American Motors Corporation (AMC). How strange, I thought. I’ve been in North America a long time and never heard of this car. Curiously walking up the sidewalk a few more steps, I saw the EAGLE model also present on the side, shining in small silver font. These letters also glimmered from the front. How many cars have the model in all three locations? 

When I finished inspecting the old EAGLE I walked only a couple feet ahead, when something far more wonderful caught my eye — a big, beautiful Bald Eagle, sweeping gracefully towards me, soaring at low altitude, like my winged friend the day before.

It’s rare to see an Eagle fly in this part of Kitsilano, a neighbourhood in Vancouver, away from their usual hangouts. Most sightings are further west or towards the ocean, closer to their favourite trees and hunting spots. This made the encounter all the more special and meaningful. As a large city, Vancouver is rare in that it is home to a relatively large sized Eagle population. The province of British Columbia has the second largest Bald Eagle population in North America behind Alaska. With this said, Eagles are still few and far between in the city. We are fortunate to see one, even in their favourite spots. 

Watching Eagle fly in the heart of Kitsilano only added to the mystique and awe of this synchronistic event. It all tumbled into place for me — the spiralling Eagle 24 hours prior, the woman slowing and redirecting me, the bizarre bird car, and now this! My heart swelled with joy, a smile spread across my face, and my chest opened wide like Eagle wings! My Spirit messenger came, arriving right on time, with needed medicine for my tired soul. 

Silently, Eagle Spirit whispered in my buoyant heart: “It’s time! You are ready to fly!”

Shortly after seeing my friend in the sky I began writing the description for this ceremony. I had to lead it as soon as possible. Despite being dear to my heart, even so much as having a picture of a Bald Eagle in my bedroom, I’d yet to lead a ceremony with this Spirit Animal. I’d led several others with Spirit Animals like Whale, Snake and Raven, but not Eagle.

I didn’t feel it was time. And now I know why.  

*                    *                    *

Eagle is vast in the spread of its wings and soaring height, the reach of its vision and call of its cry, the power of its presence and mystique of its spirit.

Capturing hearts for ages throughout the world, Eagle is our great shamanic initiator into the higher, heavenly realms, the cloudless skies of our soul, and into our purpose as winged angles on Earth. It is for these reasons and more that I feel greatly honoured to represent this magnificent creature, and to invite you to commune with Eagle’s Holy Spirit, which is one with your own. 

By participating in this ceremony, you receive a healing empowerment transmission from the Oversoul of Eagle. Feeling intimately in your cells, heart and soul the sacredness of this being, you realize this same sacredness as inherently you — as your own Eagle Spirit. Eagle is here to initiate this return to the honourable winged one you are, whose destiny is to fly. 

Before diving into the details of the ceremony, let’s explore the cultural, physical and spiritual dimensions of Eagle. 

Cultural Dimensions of Eagle

In traditional cultures, Eagle has been recognized as not only the most important bird, but the most sacred animal of all. Mircea Eliade, prolific researcher, religious scholar and philosopher, writes in his book Shamanism: “The eagle, it will be remembered, is held to be the father of the first shaman, plays a considerable role in the shaman’s initiation, and, finally, is at the centre of a mythical complex that includes the World Tree and the shaman’s ecstatic journey. Nor must we forget that the eagle in a manner represents the Supreme Being, even if in strongly solarized form.” 

For Native Americans, Eagle and its feathers are “a symbol of what is highest, bravest, strongest and holiest. In the Native American culture, eagle feathers are given to another in honor, and the feathers are worn with dignity and pride. They are treated with great respect.” Many Native Americans see Eagle as the leader of all birds, the Master of the Sky, due to its breathtaking, soaring height in Father Sky and closeness to Spirit. “The Eagle is considered to be a messenger to God,” writes this author. “It was given the honor of carrying the prayers of man between the World of Earth and the World of Spirit, where the Creator and grandfathers reside.”

Their ascended stature further derives from their role as psychopomp. Recognized as having this purpose in many shamanic cultures, Eagle Spirit guides lost souls back home to reunite with loved ones in the heavens. Just as they masterfully navigate the realms of Father Sky, they are adept travellers through the invisible realms of Spirit. We should not be surprised, then, that they take their rightful place at the top of totem poles of the Pacific Northwest (Canada & the U.S.).

 

Eagle was a sacred ally for White Buffalo Woman when she came to her Sioux people in the Great Plains centuries ago. A single feather gracing her black hair ordained the holiness of her mission. Along with prophecy of her return, she bestowed the chanunpa, or sacred pipe, from which twelve Eagle feathers hung. They symbolized the Sioux’s angelic Family of Light and Wakan Tanka, or Great Spirit, to ceremonially commune with through the chanunpa. At the moment she shared her prophecy, an Eagle circled and cried above her marking the power and sacredness of not only the prophecy, but the animal itself. In circling, the Eagle demonstrated the Circle of Life, the prophetic return of White Buffalo Woman. 

In the Scottish Highlands, chiefs still wear three Golden Eagle feathers in their bonnets (hats) to symbolize their rank, whereas chieftains wear two. Traditionally considered one of the oldest and most sacred animals, Eagles have a significant place in Celtic mythology, specifically the Golden, White-Tailed, and Sea species. In Gaelic, the White-Tailed Eagle is called lolaire suile na grein — the eagle with the sunlit eye.

The Golden Eagle is sacred to the Kazakhs of western Mongolia. For generations, going back centuries, this animal has played the role of hunter, what natives call Bürgedchin. Starting as fledglings, Golden Eagles are trained to hunt Foxes, Hares and small Deer whose pelts provide the warmth and comfort needed to withstand harsh winters. With a top diving speed of 200 mph (322 kph) and the ability to see 2 km (1.25 miles) away, they are formidable predators. The Golden Eagles live with the natives as family, and travel with them on horse along the wild, rugged steppes, flying off from the arm of the elder and back in a way reminiscent of falconry.

Respect and trust has been forged between these large birds and the Kazakhs. Writes this author, “Hunters whisper to their eagles, offering food by hand, and resting them on handcrafted perches. Over time, an unbreakable bond forms. The eagle learns to recognize the hunter’s voice, responding with unwavering loyalty.” In this video, one of the few remaining Eagle hunters says, “Our responsibility in this life is to live in symbiosis with the Eagles… as a great sacred animal.” At the end of its service, which is five years minimum, the Golden Eagle is released back into the wild to be completely free and possibly mate. 

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)

Physical Dimensions of Eagle 

There are about 70 species of Eagles spread across all continents except Antarctica. Members of the scientific family Accipitridae, they are informally classified into four groups: Snake Eagles, Booted Eagles, Harpy Eagles, and Sea Eagles.

The heaviest Eagle is considered to be the Steller’s Sea Eagle. Native to eastern Russia, Japan and the Korean peninsula, it weighs up to 22 lbs, or 10 kg. In terms of wingspan, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle tops the charts at 2.84 m, or 9 ft 4 in. The largest bird of prey in Australia, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle is found throughout the continent, including Tasmania, and in southern New Guinea. As for total length, the Philippine Eagle is chief at 1 metre, or 3 ft 3 in. Indigenous only to the Philippines, where it’s honoured as the national bird, the Philippine Eagle is considered the largest in overall size. Measurements not mentioned here but considered are height and the depth of its wings (how fluffy they are!).  

Indigenous to South and Central America, the Harpy Eagle is believed to be the second largest overall. A ferocious hunter of the jungle, the Harpy has talons longer than a Grizzly Bear (5 in / 13 cm vs 4 in / 10 cm). They are capable of exerting almost 600 PSI of bone-crushing pressure, as compared to humans who can muster at most 60 PSI. Predators of large animals like tree Sloths and Monkeys, they strike terror in their prey, keeping them vigilantly alert. Having strikingly formidable and unusual facial features adds to their mystique and fierce reputation.

A woman from Central America summarized the Harpy this way (I paraphrase): “If I’m relaxing under a tree, I’d rather have 100 Bald Eagles circling above me than one Harpy!” Research enough and you may come to the same conclusion I have: the Harpy Eagle is bar none the most badass bird on the planet!

Eagles are known to fly at stunning heights, with estimates being 10,000 to 15,000 feet, or 3,000 to 4,500 metres, above sea level. However, they don’t make the top 10 high flying winged ones. Found in East Africa and the Sahara, the highest flying bird is the Ruppell’s Griffon Vulture which travels a staggering 37,000 feet or 11,300 metres above sea level. In 1973, this bird had a collision with an aircraft at this cruising altitude, causing damage to one of the engines and certain death for the unfortunate Vulture. 

Returning to Eagle, here are some other characteristics of the physical dimension:

• Female Eagles are about 1/3 larger than males  
• Eagles are monogamous creatures, mating and enjoying life with the same beloved their entire life
• Courtship involves a beautiful, entangled, often tumbling-spiral dance; and mating always occurs on a branch or in the nest
• Copulation is the meeting of cloaca, or “exit chambers.” The male mounts the female, she turns to the side, lifts her feathers, and then the “cloaca kiss” takes place. I love that term! Sperm is passed from one cloaca to another.
• Both female and male partake in nest building, and if the nest is successful in protecting the offspring, they use the same one the following year
• With powerful talons and wings, Eagles can capture prey as large as small Deer and Sheep and lift them to higher locations. You may have heard stories of people watching in horror as their dogs and cats are carried away.    
• It is believed that some Eagles can spot a Rabbit 3.2 kilometres or 2 miles away. Studies suggest that the Harpy can locate an object 1 inch, or 2.5 cm, in size from a distance of almost 220 yards, or 0.20 km. Overall, Eagles can see 8 times further than humans.
• The cruising speed of Eagles is about 30-50 mph/h or 48-80 km/h, and when diving for prey, they accelerate up to an astounding 200 miles/h or 320 km/h 
• Different Eagle types have different migratory patterns. Studies show that Bald Eagles can migrate 225 miles / 360 km in a day, with the average distance being 98 miles / 158 km.  

Now that we’ve covered the visible realm of Eagle, which I hope was interesting for you, let’s fly higher into the invisible and indivisible dimensions of this powerful spirit. 

Spiritual Dimensions of Eagle

Eagle represents the pure spirit of our Higher Self, the heavenly dimensions of our eternal nature that crystallize into and as our body. Eagle lifts us onto its broad, powerful wings and joyously carries us upwards into the infinite, the lightness of no-thing, into who we truly are. It is their great calling and gift to do so. 

When we see their spiralling (related to spirit) pattern of flight directly above, we can imagine a vortex of energy being created for us. A stargate portal is opening, inviting us to cross over into our multidimensional divinity, and higher into the Light Realms. As messenger and guide, Eagle is helping us actualize the new horizons we are ready for. 

Eagle is thus widely considered shamanic in nature and a Master Sky Dancer for these very reasons.

Like human Masters, Eagle enjoys being on its own in the freedoms of detachment and open space, where its wings, vision and heart stretch across the sky. Eagle initiates us to feel safe, free, natural and joyous in our aloneness as well, far away from the flock, quietly perched above it all. It guides us into our spacious hearts where we feel the peaceful emptiness we are.

Nighttime dreams of flying, as well as seeing winged friends delight in the air — like Hummingbird, Raven, Dove, Butterfly, Eagle, etc, remind us of what we long for, who we are, and where we come from. Like all winged beings, Eagle sparks a soul memory of our spiritual home and angelic nature, of our wings extending gloriously across the heavens. In their freedom of flight, they remind us that the weightiness of matter, our dense form, is not reality, not Truth, but that boundless lightness of being is. 

What stands out amongst our majestic Eagle friends, as compared to other birds, is the effortless grace with which they fly. They soar with fluid ease, despite their large wings. They circle or spiral for minutes, riding the windy currents and flows of spirit and life, and do so with utmost grace, awe and beauty, with wings barely moving. Their sky-dancing mastery teaches us how to be powerful and graceful at once, and how to majestically move with the rhythms of life with the least effort. 

This is all part of Eagle’s mystique, its humble message and medicine. It’s no wonder that human beings, shamans and light workers worldwide, have been drawn to this great animal in form and spirit. And yet, there is so much more about this Teacher of Celestial Flight…

From it heavenly altitudes, Eagle perceives through metaview and mystical vision. It invites us to rise above our circumstances to see what’s hidden from us at ground zero. For example, if you are entering a new relationship, and you imagine the relationship represents a maze, your awakened Eagle Spirit can help you see the metaview, or larger picture, of what this relationship holds for you — that it’s filled with many exciting passages, or a series of dead ends. 

Your mystical metaview shines through your third eye chakra. Eagle is a powerful force we can turn to for activating our mystical higher vision and our shamanic (in)sight. Working with the pituitary gland that’s associated with this energy centre, Eagle’s medicine purifies, balances and birth’s your third eye’s gifts of vision. You become clearer on current matters and have a greater sense of what is before you — future timeless and possibilities, challenges and destiny, when / how to act versus remaining calm and patient.

With Great Eagle’s support, it becomes easier to perceive and choose from your Eagle Spirit; your Higher Self who flies detached from the complex mazes and entanglements of human existence. 

There is a piercing presence in Eagle that commands awe and respect. Look into the eyes of this bird and you see the intense focus of an old soul. If you were to gaze directly into those eyes from close range, you may feel a depth of ancient wisdom piercing the veils of your spirit, drawing you in and opening you to your graceful power. 

Imagining those fiery eyes and feeling Eagle’s directed power, we can sense how this animal carries the medicine of the Divine Masculine. Great Eagle supports us to embody what is strong, determined, alert, forthright, fierce, bold, to the point. It activates the fire in our heart and arrows of our soul ready to fly across the sky, a passionate, piercing pursuit mirroring Eagle’s breathtaking dive for prey. 

Eagle Spirit’s clear vision and Divine Masculine moves us into concise action and away from procrastination. It activates the willingness to stand upright, in integrity and authority, as the sovereign creative author of our life. Eagle’s strength inspires us to look directly into another’s eyes and say what needs to be said; to no longer tolerate the intolerable; to speak and act from effortless calm and dignity. Eagle empowers us to assert one of the most important, powerful and feared (avoided) words — No! By saying No to others, we say Yes to our Eagle Spirit!

The Divine Masculine when consecrated to the Divine Feminine in our heart emboldens us to advocate for ourselves, for the children of our world, for Sophia Gaia and Sophia Christ consciousness. In sacred embodiment and leadership, we act from love, from our heart, where our glorious Eagle wings spread from. We move through life as Eagle does, with grace, freedom and power. 

The medicine of Eagle opens our tender, powerful hearts for ourselves, and the world. This is the sacred medicine of all beings of flight, one that comes with a timeless, esoteric message — that unless we expose our hearts, our wings will not open and we cannot fly. Opening our hearts opens our wings, and opening our wings opens our hearts.

Courageously healing and revealing our hearts and activating our Eagle Spirit, we fly into our divine destiny, heart-to-heart with others. We live as the Free Birds we are, and have always been, carried by the winds of love, a Breath of Life, that, like the sky and our soul, is boundless.

Healing & Activation Ceremony

In this ceremony, you commune directly with the Great Oversoul of Eagle, and in doing so, come alive to the divine qualities of your Eagle Spirit. 

Encoded within your soul is the entire Blueprint of Creation. More than you can imagine, you are one with Great Eagle, just as you are one with Sacred Rose, White Buffalo Woman, Mother Earth and Sirius. Since the moment of your conception in Divine Mother’s black womb, you’ve had an Eagle Spirit with all its ancient gifts and wisdom. Divine Mother’s great bestowment to all Her children was that our divine DNA perfectly match Her own, and yet be uniquely encoded. As sovereign creators like no other, we’re born to explore, experience and know ourselves as everything, all the Wonders of Creation! 

This ceremony helps you realize this unfathomable inheritance in sacred embodiment. Inasmuch as you open to Great Eagle’s transmission, dormant crystalline genetic codes associated and resonant with this Spirit Animal activate. The divine qualities of your Eagle genes stir awake from their nested slumber along your biological DNA, upgrading your human genome from carbon to crystalline. Your nervous system, meridians, heart and mind are mysteriously suffused by your awakened Eagle Spirit. From old, outdated density, you are uplifted into higher heavenly f-light.

In successive stages of integration, your Eagle Spirit increasingly perceives and acts in holy communion with Great Eagle, and in synchrony with its myriad manifestations. You live with an Eagle Heart, an expansiveness of soul, dancing freely with the Masters of Flight! Even without conscious awareness, this activated, integrated divinity subtly shifts your worldview and point of direction, if only by two degrees. Over a long distance, this small change in course creates a vast new reality. You are free to experience and fly into greater dimensions of your Higher Self, and life. 

Eagle also provides advanced healing in this ceremony. Inasmuch as you are ready, its transmission dissolves the quantum roots of trauma and programming spanning lifetimes and generations. When these energetic matrices are cleared, one is gradually, if not quickly, uplifted from conditions like back pain, fibromyalgia, insomnia, migraines, anxiety and depression. One client of mine named Brandy wrote the following about her miraculous experience in my first Eagle Spirit ceremony:

“I was having issues with my feet being cold for about 6 months. When I declared my intention for healing this in the Eagle Spirit ceremony I felt warmth returning to them, almost completely resolving this issue thereafter.” 

Not long after writing this testimonial, her feet completely healed, and they remained healthy for the time period I remained in contact with her. (You can read her entire testimonial here, along with other stories of transformation.) Her miraculous healing is a testament to the fact that Great Eagle has the power to transform our suffering far more than we realize. For how many people have said that this Spirit Animal has healed their feet, or could even imagine this being possible?

If Great Eagle can heal feet, what other magick can this Spirit Animal perform? There are no limits.

In writing your intentions for this ceremony, guided via the link at the bottom, please remember that you can ask for anything you want from Great Eagle — mental, emotional, physical or spiritual. Nothing is too much. It’s matter of your readiness and openness. 

Bearing in mind that we grow and evolve through stages of awareness, Great Eagle’s transmission may not be enough to lift you out of your nest, but it may help you move closer to the edge. Perhaps that familiar nest is old back pain. Maybe it’s an unfulfilling relationship or job, or a physical environment that no longer feels like home. Perhaps your nest is the comfortable confines of a contracted voice afraid to speak up and set boundaries. Or maybe your nest is procrastination that keeps you from courageously acting on your creative impulses, from taking a leap into unknown skies. 

Working with your intentions and Higher Self, Great Eagle does not push or pull you to the edge of your nest; nor does it command your wings and vulnerable heart to open. Rather, in safety, wisdom and love, this Spirit Animal guides you, inch-by-inch, towards new adventures your integrated Eagle Spirit & human self is ready for.

With power and grace, Great Eagle lifts / activates the feathers that call the Breath of Life, allowing your heart to naturally open even more to the Free Bird you are.
